38 issues and every one a Kirbyverse! Imagination fuels existence! My mutated brain, that thinks so much bigger, swelling on layers of layers of layers (I'll have mine with Onionity, thank you) just like the Eververse. I mean, thirty-eight issues of mind bending audacity!
Matteo just cranking out unique design like an eye-treat pinata, cuz what ya gonna do with Remenders brains splattering all around, try to draw it all, I guess, and apparently succeeding. Like with Paul Pope, I have to up my eye game, can't hardly see how anybody draws in such an idiosyncratic style while reading so clearly, and its just gotten smoother and measured and coarse and chaotic, Remender's nuts concoction of narrative gets amped up to a zillion.
Remender just throws giant trope pearls into a stew, dropping cavalry realities and subsuming threats like a reality vomiting Marvel and DC crossover giant baby (uh, that doesn't sound like the way I enjoy this book...) It's as if all of imagination is trying to kill Grant McKay.
For a guy whose life went down the turlet like a swirlin turd since the second he pushed the button, Grant's adventure is high drama and fun at the same time. And, as we have learned from a pig farmer from Prydain; it must be adventure because Grant is so miserable so much of the time.
Anyway, centipede death cult, Zirite infestation, fluffy foul-mouthed demon-gods, and Grants, so many Grants, its the grandest Bandersnatch, the choicest Choose Your Own, its any and all of them.
God, so many individual covers and pages to fawn over, but got comics to read. See you guys again!

ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the ride with us. The best fun of creating this has been to cook up increasingly odd and challenging visuals for Matteo and Moreno to realize. And they always, every single time, outdo anything I saw in my head. I never reread any of my work, but I often grab BLACK SCIENCE books and fawn over one of the best art teams in the history of the industry. Between BLACK SCIENCE and Secret Avengers [sic], Matteo and I have done over 50 comics together, and I don't take a one of them for granted. It's been one of the best partnerships and friendships in my life. Whenever I hear anyone so jazzed at the nuttiness it pus a big smile on my face. Thank you for supporting us.
